press release is not for tax reporting purposes but is being
provided to announce the amount of each Fund’s distributions that
have been declared by the applicable Board of Directors. In early
2020, after definitive information is available, each Fund will
send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV, if applicable, specifying how
the distributions paid by each Fund during the prior calendar year
should be characterized for purposes of reporting the distributions
on a shareholder’s tax return (e.g., ordinary income, long-term
capital gain or return of capital). If applicable, and when
available, a current estimate of the distribution's composition can
be found in the Section 19 notice section of the website. Please
consult your tax advisor for further information.
